Exactly, Jade. I have a similar organisation technique that others would have trouble deciding on (and I change catalog info on all the stuff I download. For example, now all my plants and vases show up in the plant section That's why I'll never upload a house. Ever.) I'd show my organising technique if I knew how to put up a picture here. I've completely lost my forum abilities (I've been translating  50 pages of a thesis. I am a MSWORD whore. It makes me stupid. Cheesy)

I edit 99% of the stuff I download. I bin hair, I get rid of eyelash bars and pointy ears on good-looking sims, I change categories for clothing, I change prices on objects, I change where in the catalog stuff will appear, I make collections....

I find that being organized and having to edit files makes me very careful about what I put in the game, and that's exactly why I do it.

Ditto. I also put hair in the same family (even "binners" tend to forget this step), and enable objects for OFB buy mode. And ever since Pescado posted his footstep tutorial I've been fixing my downloaded clothes.

Some hackers say that there hacks must go in the original folder. That what the kitten killer says but it works fine in sub folders... hypathetically... yeah...
The problem with this is that there are several "InTeenimater-compatible" mods that work by ensuring they are loaded AFTER the InTeenimater.  If the InTeenimater is in a subfolder, then it gets loaded late, and may potentially "blot" out the effects of said mods (rendering them useless).  Granted, if you know what the hell you are doing and have some clue about how package load ordering works, you can - as you have observed - put InTeen safely in a subfolder.  Problem is, most users are far too brain dead to even grasp at the concept of package loading, so I avoid it altogether and promote the "you can't go wrong" approach.  As soon as you say "put the files wherever the hell you want" you start dealing with people who do screwy shit like putting part of the InTeen package files in one folder, and part in another.  Some people organize their mods by author, which will screw you up.  It's just too complicated to try and anticipate all the zany combinations people will try (and worse to support it) - and when it breaks - they won't even stop to consider the possibility they screwed it up.  They'll just cuss at the mods that don't work, delete files randomly until it does work, and then rant on here about how their game is so much better without the mods they deleted Smiley

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

I do my hacks by author, but that's just because when an update is made for them I can find them easily. And it makes it a little less daunting to find the "screwing my game up hacks" because I can just skip all the ones in JM's, Twojeffs', and Crammyboy's folders)

I don't use kitten killer. (that's inTEENimenator, right?) So I don't have to worry about stuff loading before or after it. =p

Looks like I know what I will be doing today!

JadeElliott, do you know where I might be able to get those beaded blinds, I located the Sims2Play website but they were not listed there.  They have some nice stuff there.

Maybe your virus protection or firewall is stopping it. It sounds like some program on your computer that is doing it if you are using IE. I just went there and all is fine and I just did all my windows updates yesterday.

No, that's site advisor  http://www.siteadvisor.com/   it's a browser plugin that will show safe sites in green when you do a google search. They actually register on sites to verify if the site sends spam or they will download files to see if they contain spyware or viruses.  This site has a green ranking so they have tested it already.

Thanks for the link. But I was right. It is still a program downloaded onto your computer (in this case incorporated into Firefox) that causes the blocking.

I'm looking into the program. This could be just the thing for some of my customers that keep bringing their computer to me to be "fixed" when the entire problem they have is from spyware and/or viruses.

Yeah, you can bypass the blocking if you are brave. My daughter had a ton of spyware on her computer from surfing sims sites though, so I make her use it now.
